(Literally, I can do this all day. Living the Legnd.) - Author: Hashtag Survival - Tags: Spotlight, Life ## POI: Tim My name is Tim; I'm a 32-year-old Swede from the northern parts of Sweden. I have always been creating games, starting back in the RPG Maker XP days. Since I didn't know coding then, I got into graphics design instead. Originally educated to be an electrician, I realized I wanted to work with computers instead and decided to study computer science. As soon as we started learning programming, I found myself coding small games until late in the evening. Since then, my passion has only grown. While studying, I spent 2 years with 2 others building a mobile game called *Gnomies* using Java. After that, I moved over to Unity for my hobby projects and managed to land a part-time gig at a small startup indie studio. Eventually, I started getting opportunities to give guest lectures on game development and even teach Unity Development to Game development students. All this was done in parallel with my own education. A big IT consulting firm headhunted me, and when I finally got my master's in computer science, I moved to Stockholm to work. Since then, I have worked on some of the largest titles in the world at amazing studios as a consultant/contractor. Some more known places I've worked at are King, Mag Interactive, Toca Boca, Rovio, and Mojang (Minecraft). Over the years, I have maintained my passion for developing games in my spare time. In 2020, I started working on *Far North*, a survival game inspired by the terrain and weather I grew up in. I started working on it and brought my two friends to the project. But over the years I am now the only one left working on it. The game is an ambitious Procedural Co-op open-world survival game with shifting seasons (summer, autumn, winter, and spring). Over the years, the game has accumulated about [15k wishlists on Steam ](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1476040/Far%5FNorth/?ref=hashtagsurvival.net)and is [available to play an early alpha version on Itch.io](https://legndgames.itch.io/far-north?ref=hashtagsurvival.net). You can keep up with game announcements and updates[ through Discord](https://discord.gg/zXtS5fnUnS?ref=hashtagsurvival.net), though keep in mind I am treating it purely as a hobby project to reduce the pressure of "releasing it." At this point , I am run ning my own Game Consulting Company named [Legnd](https://legnd.se/?ref=hashtagsurvival.net) with my wife. ### Survival Link Survival games have been one of my favorite Genres since *Minecraft* came out (yes, I consider it a lightweight survival game). What really sparked my love for survival games was *The Long Dark*. I love the mix of scavaging for items and battling nature (both elements and wildlife). Another lightweight survival game I love is *Valheim*; I'm a big fan of games that combine survival elements with creative elements such as complex building. ### Check Out Some Games I Love! - [*Minecraft*](https://store.steampowered.com/tags/en/Minecraft?ref=hashtagsurvival.net) \- Probably the greatest game of all time. - [*Final Fantasy 7*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final%5FFantasy%5FVII?ref=hashtagsurvival.net) \- Grew up playing this over and over.
